John Mbiti said famously that African peoples are notoriously religious. I say: So-called African Americans are notoriously mythological. But this I mean: We - from the educated to the uneducated, from the intellectuals to the dogmatists, Muslims, Christians, Africentrists, Post-Racialists, all sectors of the community - cling tenaciously to one myth or another. By myth here I mean something very specific: a view held, whether religious, historical, scientific, etc., which has been DEMONSTRATED to be errant, but we continue to hold it nonetheless. .
